Absolute Superman For All Seasons by Jeph Loeb, Tim Sale

Absolute Superman for All Seasons is a brilliant coming-of-age tale following the experiences and adventures that turn a country boy into the world's greatest hero.

Told through the course of four seasons in the Man of Steel's adolescent life, this collection illustrates that it is the person, not the powers, that makes Superman a hero. 

The catalyst for the "Smallville" television program, SUPERMAN FOR ALL SEASONS is emotional and insightful, humanizing the alien from another planet so that he is not only realistic but also relatable. It also features in-depth characterizations of Lana Lang, Lex Luthor, Lois Lane and the Kents.

Absolute Superman for All Seasons collects Superman for All Seasons #1-4, Superman/Batman #26, Superman/Batman: Secret Files #1, and the Superman story from Solo #1 in stunning absolute format.
